There's something comforting about our tater tot casserole. This loaf is packed with crispy potato puffs and layered with cheese, garlic, and spicy serrano peppers.

Cheesy Tater Puff Loaf

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a 1-quart souffle or casserole dish with nonstick spray; set aside. 

Sprinkle potato puffs with garlic salt. Bake puffs on a rimmed baking pan for 8 minutes; flip over and continue baking an additional 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven; cool slightly. 

Toss potato puffs with Parmesan, mozzarella, and Colby cheeses, minced garlic, and serrano pepper. Loosely pack mixture into prepared dish.

Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes. When working with hot peppers, wear protective gloves.

Bake 10 minutes or until cheeses melt. Invert onto serving platter. Serve immediately.
